Class Details

  • All classes are held at the DDRC boathouse on Delta Deas Island.

  • The Learn to Row program is designed to introduce participants to the sport of rowing in crew boats and teach proper rowing technique for anyone with no prior rowing experience.

  • The program includes 12 hours (6 x 2h) of small group coaching and will cover equipment handling and safety, getting in/out of the boat, stroke sequence, rowing, backing, turning and docking.

  • Master’s participants must be 18 years or older.

  • Junior Learn to Row sessions are open for youths 13 to 18. Youth who are age 12, and will be entering grade 8 in September, are also welcome to sign up.

  • For safety reasons, participants must be able to swim 50 meters. Rowers will benefit from having the flexibility to squat for getting in and out of the boat.

  • All Learn to Row sessions are taught by a qualified coach.
